What's it like living there? HELP Me PLEASE! The job market right now SUX..... But maybe you being a bartender will help. SoBe is'nt that expensive. As for the girls, we have a lil of everything here in Miami. And last but not least, living here is the best..... I Love it, would'nt change it for the world. You should try something new, if you don't like it, you can always go back home...... BTW, sorry to hear about your break up with your girlfriend of 5 years...

djdekan Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Well Im from NYC, and have been going to SUNY Albany for 3yrs and now this DEcember Im moving to MIA. Im moving for the Music basically, Im trying to get a 1bedroom for around 600 to 700 bucks, I bartend/waiter. It shouldn't be that hard to get a job, but a bit scared cause of the recession BS.

I Say do it, I love the people down in MIA always makes friends when I visit, The weathers beautiful and Its really the only place where I get MY MUSIC, Can't wait for WMC (popping my cherry) haha.

freshl7freshl7 Posted November 19 Author Report Share Posted November 19 That would be cool, but the one thing I am worried about is paying out of state for school. I sort of want to finish school here first then go down. But who knows I will keep u posted if I go. Sometimes u just have to say FUCK IT and do it. I will no when the time is right. I wish I knew how to speak spanish too because 80% of Miami knows how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeygk Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 really don't worry about the spanish thing.....i was a lil' paranoid too when I moved down from the midwest about a year ago, but it ended up being nothing to stress over. Everyone is super chill down here.....easy to kill a few years in the sun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMC is in MARCH dates havent been officially announced yet, I was told this monday though. As far as hotels and stuff, someone else can probably help you out with that info....

agbomb Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 My boyfriend and I are also thinking about moving to Miami in February. We are coming from CT. I am real worried about finding a job, due to all the recession chat, how bad is the job situation right now in South Florida? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomy Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 Comming down for WMC isn't really fair. We will be the center of the universe, noone in their right mind wouldnt want to stay.As for Miami, I live north of there, but would love to live right in south beach. The only problem would be having the discipline to keep your parting in check. It is so easy to come down here and go crazy with all the models, clubs and drugs. (Yes this is a real problem)There are plenty of reasonable places to stay close to the beach. I would move there in a second if I was single and just out of school.As for the job market, I am sure it will get much better after it gets cold up north. We will still get all the tourists despite everything going on.as for Spanish, it really isn't an issue. Yes you will hear it spoken all over, but, you will never run into a situation where you need anything and no one speaks english. At least 80% of the folks who speak spanish speak english also, and you really don't run into the other 20% too often due to different circles.Let us know when you are comming down, well give you the local only tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami is generally known as a tourist city and in wake of the whole Sept. 11th fiasco, it's really put a stain on the job market and economy of the city and the country. I've been unemployed for alittle over three weeks and I haven't gotten a single call. now, I don't want to scare you, but atleast for the time being, it's not good ....

juliadaniels Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 hi there just saw your posting asking whether u should move to miami...well i dont live in miami right now but have done on and off for the past 4 years...and i can simply say that i personally think its heaven on earth...i too split up with someone before i moved there and it was the best decision i ever made the place is clean...not to dangerous the clubs and resturants are the best..and the people (depending on where you go ) are amazing if even sometimes to laugh at!!I f you have bar experience and are relitivley good looking u will have no problem getting a job...just cruise down washington/5th on a friday daytime and go into, living room, bed, nikkis(up on 1st), 369..and u will get a job...if u have any catering experience i think le sandwicherie on meridian might be looking for staff (it helps if you speak french) i rented an apartment on 14/meridien for $500 a month and it was a lovely place with a pool..so i think u should go for...Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickl Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 I say you're better off in the northeast. the job market here kinda lagged in comparison to other places even when the economy was good. as for girls, there already aren't enough down here to go around. I've been to the NE, and the girl situation up there is quite a bit better......you all might not have as many truly "knockout" women up there, but you really don't stand any chance with these girls here anyway unless you can bring some sort of status to the table. Usually meaning $$$, but it can mean power in other aspects, too. Also keep in mind that rich playboys continually descend on Miami year-round for this very purpose. The NE is better! Women aren't as *hot*, but there are far more of them and they are down to earth, something you can't say about Miami girls with the probable exception of Loraine from this board! I'd move to the Northeast myself if it wasn't so damned cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest saleen351 Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 I am trying to move to lauderdale,,,,I think you ppl have a much better quality of life, Yea in the NYC, Nj , CT area we got jobs, but we are not as well off as you would think. We work hard up here but taxes and cost of living it outrageous. Our commutes are horrible, mine was 4.5 hours a day, round trip from Nj to the Port authoriy then a short walk to times square, WASN"T FUN!!!!! The bus sucked. I love the atmosphere down there.....Everyone is smileing all the time... I am flying down for a week next week to try and find a job, I got a BS in econ and I hope I can make 30 K , thats all I need, then a part timer on the side...And the girls in Staten Island are the best in America..More hot ass per capita then any where I've every been. Then sobe then Nj then Nyc....Give me 30k, a apt in lauderdale near the beach and a decent job I like , and I'll be the happiest person in the world.Nj has worn me out...Too much BS up here, no time to relax...

patrickl Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 Originally posted by saleen351 I love the atmosphere down there.....Everyone is smileing all the time... We are?? Geez I've lived here my whole life and I've yet to see that consistently. Ft. Lauderdale *is* probably a better move than Miami, though. I still think the Northeast women outclass Miami women in every department. Plus there are more of them. It seems like every place I go here is a damned sausage factory. There's only one place I know of where the hot girls outnumber guys - a particular Starbucks location that I'm not going to disclose publicly. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such an easy way to meet broads...but meeting women in nyc or nj is impossible, you gota have a top game. These bitches are ruthless up here, glad I'm leaving for some laid back girls down there...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomy Posted November 24 Report Share Posted November 24 Everyone who grew up in SFL really has no idea how good they have it.I have lived in at least 20 different states and can say that SFL is in the top 3 places to live in the US. You can make an argument for S Cal or for the Mountains in CO etc. But for overal quality of life, cost of living and shit to do, I will take good old SFL anytime. Other places could be better if you didn't have to work or had a ton of $$$ but I have to work and am still working on the $$$ thing, so I am here for a while (sorry guys your stuck with me)As for the women, yeah some of them can be bitches in sobe, but you cant walk the street in Ft. Lauderdale w/o being hit on. People go to Miami in groups and not for the pickup scene. In Lauderdale, it is nothing but groups of girls and groups of guys, all trying to hook up.
